Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 73
Chapter 073 Demon’s New Clothes
Bai Junzhuo shut her mouth. She hadn’t thought of a good idea yet.
Suddenly, Mystic Maiden suddenly turned to her side and pointed her sword at this place. “Holy Maiden who was born with a mission, are you willing to sacrifice your life for the people of Luoyang in this life?”
Everyone followed the direction pointed by the Mysterious Woman Sword and saw Bai Junzhuo. All of a sudden, they knelt down and said in unison, “Holy Maiden, please save us!”
Seeing this formation, Bai Jun Zhao hurriedly opened his mouth to explain. The Mysterious Maiden added, “Holy Maiden, please sacrifice your useless and intangible body to exorcise the demons and chase after the demons. This sovereign will use all of my magic power to help the Holy Maiden achieve the perfection of her virtue!”
“This demonic woman” Shen Qing couldn’t hold back any longer and rushed onto the stage one after another. He raised the Mysterious Woman with one hand and placed the sword around her neck with the other. He threatened coldly, “If you continue to speak such monstrous words to deceive the crowd, I will cut off your tongue!”
Xuan Nu calmly stared at Shen Qing and said, “If the Holy Maiden can sacrifice herself to save the lives of the world, then why should I care about this pouch?”
Shen Qing was anxious. She pointed at Bai Junzhuo and said, “She is not a Holy Maiden, she is just an ordinary person!”
“No, you’re wrong. She’s the Holy Maiden!” Xuan Nu still didn’t change her tone.
“Yes,” Bai Junzhuo’s gaze swept across the crowd below. “That’s right, I am the Holy Maiden.”
Neither Shen Qing nor Xuan Nu had expected Bai Junzhuo to admit it, so they stared at her in confusion.
Bai Junzhuo slowly walked to the top of the stage and said to the people below, “Mysterious Maiden is right. I am indeed the reincarnation of the Holy Maiden.”
“Miss Bai, you” Shen Qing whispered to her. Bai Junzhuo quietly waved his hand at him, signaling him not to speak yet.
Xuan Nu regained her senses and hurriedly knelt down, saying, “Three days later, it will be the auspicious day for the Holy Maiden to offer sacrifices to the heavens. Xiao Xian thanks the Holy Maiden on behalf of all the people!”
Seeing her kneel, everyone bended down and kowtowed to Bai Junzhuo.
Bai Junzhuo put on a noncannibalistic look as he raised his hand and said, “All of you, get up.”
Everyone stood up obediently. The Mysterious Maiden said, “The Holy Maiden will definitely move the heavens by saving lives on her own, and the Holy Maiden will also achieve perfection.”
“You’re wrong,” Bai Junzhuo glanced at her coldly and said to the crowd, “This Night Star Observation Elephant also discovered that the demons were harassing Luoyang City, causing the young men in your family to be confused by the demons, so this sovereign negotiated with those demons.”
Someone below immediately asked, “How can a demon let go of my son?”
Bai Junzhuo smiled faintly and pointed at Xuan Nu. “The demons want to use Xuan Nu’s blood to offer sacrifices to them,” Bai Junzhuo said.
When Xuan Nu heard this, her brows furrowed tightly.
Bai Junzhuo looked at her provocatively. Wasn’t it because the people were ignorant that they pretended to play tricks on them? If you can do this, why can’t I? I wonder who the Profound Maiden and Holy Maiden will listen to.
The Mysterious Maiden was angry at first, but she calmed down after a moment. She said to Bai Junzhuo, “Did you hear wrongly? Your body is still young and lacks immortal spirits. I’m afraid you’ve been tricked by a demon.”
“No,” Bai Junzhuo said, “if you don’t believe me, the Mysterious Lady will call out the demons and ask them herself.”
Behind him, Shen Qing laughed out loud. He withdrew his sword and stood with his hands crossed around his chest. He waited for this profound woman to call out the demon.
He shouldn’t have been worried about Bai Junzhuo just now, because no one else could compare to her other than his master if it was a battle of wits.
Xuan Nu hesitated and was in a dilemma.
Someone below urged, “Empress Xuan Nu, please call out the demon for us to see. We need to hear it personally.”
Xuan Nu was unable to say a word as she gritted her teeth and looked at Bai Junzhuo.
Bai Junzhuo’s face was still smiling as he approached her and said, “You’re so formidable. Call out the demons, Mysterious Lady.”
Xuan Nu took a deep breath. She did not expect Bai Junzhuo to do this, so she did not make any preparations earlier.
However, tonight’s scene was decided on an ad hoc basis. Bai Junzhuo was standing in the distance just now, and she didn’t want to come over. She shouldn’t have made any preparations, right?
Thinking of this, Xuan Nu suddenly laughed and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Little Immortal’s magic power is insufficient to call out demons. I would like to ask the Holy Maiden to call out the demons for everyone to see.”
Bai Junzhuo’s expression did not change. He whispered in her ear, “But if I call out the demons, then I will say whatever I want. When the time comes, I will say that the demons will let the people tear you apart. You have no choice but to obey. Do you really want me to call out them?”
Mysterious Maiden looked at Bai Junzhuo’s expression and couldn’t help but become worried. Could it be that she had made preparations in advance? As usual, she asked others to dress strangely and hide in the dark to play tricks on her?
After thinking for a moment, Xuan Nu shook her head. No, she couldn’t have known what happened tonight in advance. She was definitely scaring herself like this!
Thinking of this, Xuan Nu also revealed a smile and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Holy Maiden, please.”
Bai Junzhuo took a step forward and placed his hands behind his back. He pulled off his pearl bracelet and stuffed it into Shen Qing’s hand.
Shen Qing took it and looked at her in confusion.
Bai Junzhuo looked at the big tree across the stage and smiled at him. He whispered, “Listen to me carefully and cooperate with me.”
Shen Qing pondered for a moment. Although she did not quite understand what to do, she still nodded her head gently.
Bai Junzhuo walked to the front of the stage and stretched out both of his hands. He imitated the lines of the Hong Kong Ghost Film and said, “Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Old Lord Taishang is in a hurry. Demons, devils, ghosts, and monsters, quickly appear!”
As he finished speaking, the surroundings became silent. There was not even wind. The leaves of the big tree on the opposite side did not move at all. Everything remained unchanged.
Xuan Nu couldn’t help but laugh, “Holy Maiden, why hasn’t this demon and ghost appeared yet?”
The people below looked around for a while and found no sign of a demon.
Bai Junzhuo looked at her in surprise and asked, “It doesn’t matter if ordinary people can’t see them. Could it be that Empress Xuan Nu also can’t see them?”
Xuan Nu was stunned. Suddenly, she had an ominous premonition in her heart. She hurriedly said, “If there is one, Xiao Xian will naturally be able to see it. However, there is no demon coming out!”
Bai Junzhuo pointed at the big tree opposite him. “The demon is standing on that tree. Can’t you see it?”
Everyone turned their heads to look, their faces full of doubt.
The Mystic Maiden sneered, “The Holy Maiden is joking. If there is a demon standing on that tree, even if the Little Immortal’s magic power is insufficient to see it, they should still let the tree branch move.”
Mysterious Maiden was confident that there was not a single breeze tonight. This tree branch would definitely not move.
Bai Junzhuo pointed at the tree and said, “The demon over there, if you really exist, break the branch beneath your feet.”
Shen Qing finally understood what Bai Junzhuo meant just now. A pearl slid to his fingertips. He raised his hand and shot. The pearl hit the branch and fell off.
Xuan Nu’s expression immediately changed. Everyone below was so frightened that their legs went weak. Some of them even knelt down cowardly. They even muttered to themselves, “Don’t come over. I’ll give you all the money you want!”
Ancient people were really scared of ghosts, the richer they were, the more scared they were.
Xuan Nu took a deep breath before she calmed down. She was also an expert at playing tricks on ghosts. Knowing that there would be no ghosts or gods in this world, she shouted loudly, “That was just a coincidence. That branch was about to break!”
Just as she finished speaking, Shen Qing threw out all the pearls and hit a spot on the tree trunk. Fortunately, everyone’s attention was drawn back by Xuan Nu’s words, and no one saw his movements.
With a loud cracking sound, the entire canopy fell down.
Bai Junzhuo turned around and coldly said to her, “Isn’t this a coincidence? Empress Xuan Nu, what you just said has already angered the demons. They said that they will not let us go no matter what.”
“Then what should we do? Are children going to be crazy for the rest of their lives?” Someone immediately shouted.
“No way! My family has three generations of single legacies. Holy Maiden, save my son!”
Bai Junzhuo looked at the tree branch and said, “What do you think you’re going to do?”
After a moment of silence, Bai Junzhuo nodded and said to the crowd, “These demons have said that if you want them to stop pestering your son, ask the Mysterious Lady to donate all her money to the poor people. Holding the ‘I’m guilty’ sign and kneeling under the city gate for three days, they will forgive the disrespectful actions of the Mysterious Lady.”
Xuan Nu looked at her hatefully and said in a trembling voice, “Stop pretending to be a ghost. You don’t even know how to use an incantation gesture. How can you summon a true demon!”
Bai Junzhuo replied indifferently, “Your true body has high magic power. You don’t need these empty ones to call out demons.”
“You!”
“What? Is the Mystic Maiden reluctant to part with her own money?” Bai Junzhuo did not give her the chance to speak. He loudly said, “The people of Luoyang treat you as if they were gods, yet you are actually reluctant to give up something to save their lives? A person like you deserves to call yourself an immortal?”
Xuan Nu’s expression darkened, “I…”
Someone below immediately said, “Mysterious Maiden, you are an immortal. It is useless to ask for money. Please save us!”
“Yes, Empress Xuan Nu, please save us!”
She never imagined that things would turn around. This was all planned by her. She had given Bai Junzhuo a reputation and helped him establish his prestige. Now that things were beyond her control, she had completely lost the battle!
She couldn’t help but feel angry, but she finally endured it. She gritted her teeth and whispered to Bai Junzhuo, “You’re ruthless. Today, I made a mistake. But remember, I’m not your useless big sister or concubine mother. I definitely won’t let you off easy!”
Bai Junzhuo raised his eyebrows and said, “I’ll be waiting for you.”
The Mysterious Maiden forced herself to calm down. She turned around and said to everyone below, “Since this sovereign offended these demons, I will be responsible to the end. This sovereign will donate all of my money to help the poor people tomorrow. Don’t worry, everyone.”
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, as if they had been saved.
The Mysterious Maiden walked down the stage under everyone’s gaze. Bai Junzhuo said to everyone, “Everyone, the people in your family who were persecuted by the demons have lost three souls. If you want to find them, send them to Lord Cha of the prefecture. Listen to Lord Cha and cooperate with him in treating them. They will recover in a few days!”
Everyone didn’t dare not listen. After thanking Bai Junzhuo for his kindness, they dispersed under Bai Junzhuo’s gesture.
After everyone had left, Shen Qing burst into laughter and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Miss Bai’s methods are astonishing. She let me see a good show, but Master didn’t have the chance to see it.”
Bai Junzhuo also smiled and patted Shen Qing on the shoulder. “It’s all thanks to your good cooperation. If you want to be nice again in the future, I’ll still call you along.” Bai Junzhuo smiled and patted Shen Qing on the shoulder.
The two of them happily returned to the White Mansion.
Just as he returned to his courtyard, Bai Junzhuo went over to check on Xingzi’s condition and took her pulse for a while. Bai Junzhuo’s heart skipped a beat, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.
Seeing her like this, Xingzi hurriedly asked, “Miss, is this servant’s illness incurable?”
“Don’t think,” Bai Junzhuo put her hand back under the quilt and comforted, “There’s nothing in this world that I can’t cure. Trust me.”
Xingzi looked at her touched and nodded hard, “Miss, you are so kind to this servant.”
Bai Junzhuo laughed. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Nurse He rushing in in panic. He ignored the superiority and inferiority of his master and servant and ran over very rudely. He grabbed Bai Junzhuo’s arm and shouted, “Third Miss, this is bad!”
